Salix

magnifica

var.

, Hemsl.

Salix magnifica is a species of willow in the family Salicaceae. It is endemic to Sichuan in southwestern China, where it grows at high altitudes of 2,100–3,000 m. It is threatened by habitat loss.^[1]^[2]

It is a deciduous shrub or small tree growing to 6 m tall. The leaves are alternate, 10–25 cm long and 7–12 cm broad, with an entire margin; they are green above, and glaucous below, with red veins and petiole. The flowers are produced in catkins in late spring after the new leaves appear; it is dioecious, with male and female catkins on separate plants. The male catkins are 10 cm long; the female catkins are 10 cm long at pollination, expanding to 25 cm long at seed maturity.^[1]^[3]

It is cultivated as an ornamental plant in western Europe for its bold foliage, with the largest leaves of any willow.^[3]
